I wake up at the same time every day
I sleep well
I sleep in a silk nightgown
The first thing I do is get out of bed
My brother turned me blonde late one night
When I was eleven, I have never looked back
I put on my working clothes: tight black pants
And of course high heels
And I believe you should try to enjoy yourself
If everything's under control and I'm on my own
I pick up my bags and head for the car
I prefer to speak to people face-to-face
I like rock music, Lenny Kravitz
And especially Prince
I take a bath: scented oils, perfumed body cream
The light goes out
I like my bedroom, I usually fall asleep
And I hear him in my ear
He is torturing me, but still I believe he is happy
I really believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.

Obliteration City
03:30
|

I've been studying Johnny Carson for several years
When he falls out of rhythm he just finds another rhythm
Not to lose your confidence, not to be afraid
Take any kind of leap into the void.
Obliteration City, Obliteration City I tell ya
Take any kind of leap into the void.
I saw a dead person when I was little
I said: "what happened to that person?"
My dad said: "he disintigrates into light."
I thought that seemed pretty good
He goes, he goes with God
It makes you feel like, feel like you're not alone.
It hit me when I was like seven
With my little Brownie socks cuffed
Santa Claus did not turn me on
Easter Bunny didn't turn me on
But God turned me on
Little Richard turned me on.

One Of Those People
02:34
|

When I was married, things were better
We were doing fairly well
I used to have a savings but I had to cash out
During the divorce.
I live paycheck to paycheck
I have no savings at all
I can't always pay my bills
There are bills that I just can't pay.
And I'll be one of those people who works 'till they drop dead.
I don't go out, don't take vacations
I try not to drive too much
I'm not looking for another partner
I'd be bringing somebody down.
I have given up any thoughts of
A better life for myself
I just focus on my kids
I'm sorry that this was so bleak.

Where I work, the most boring work you can do
Repetition, the most boring work you can do
I'm thinking all the time about everything
It fucks with your mind, it's like a prison.
See this is like a lost dreams thing
That's what I'm thinking when I'm in here
Ten hours is a long time doing this
I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
I wanna get out of here if I can.
It's bad enough you got problems
Everybody's got shit on their minds
This is job, it's so boring, you start to obsess, man
Money isn't worth that much to me.

Jam/I'm Real
04:31
|

Living in America, there's nothing wrong
Alone from night to night you find me
It's all over, we're leaving tomorrow
Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
And jam, I'm real. Out on love you'll find me.
Wait a minute, I just got here
I wanna say a lot of things, I love you
'Cause I look good, and I smell good
And make love good.
I'm not gonna leave, gonna stay here.
Danke schön.

Most Of The Time
02:52

Most of the time I'm out in the streets
Looking around, my American dream
Is to be famous, most of the time.
Most of the time I dream I can fly
Be all the way up there on the top
But I don't see how, I just want to be on TV.
Riding around in a limousine, most of the time in a limousine
Just looking normal in a limousine.
Instead of coming in at 8:00
And leaving at 8 at night
Maybe I could invent a jet pack and wind up a millionaire.
Three guys jumped me, I was walking down the street
You got to keep your head clear
They say never look back, in real life you gotta look back.
I have that driving feeling, most of the time.
I want to be on TV, most of the time.

I'll See You Again

He kissed me on the cheek and I kissed him
Everybody saw it
I never thought my feet were on the ground
I may never see him again
I wish that I could get to know him.
I'm just one of millions
There has to be more
There's just so many people
And so many planets
Yes, there has to be more.
I put out my magazine
It was after he died
It cost me almost my whole bank account
They didn't think I had it in me.

Where Would I Go
03:19
|

I was born in San Francisco
My father was a scientist, he made discoveries
My mother was a housewife, we grew up in Queens.
I was kind of happy 'til I got older
When I was 17 I started having problems
My mother kicked me out of the house
And gave me ten dollars.
But you know, where would I go? I don't know.
Can't seem to escape anywhere I go.
Lived in a private school for 5 years
I don't remember much after that
Except I got older
And started roaming around the streets.
I'm not really much in love with life
I don't mean to make you feel sorry for me
But you know, where would I go? I don't know.
How would I like to be remembered?
I really don't care
Don't want to be remembered by anybody here
I've lead a hard life, I've done bad things too.
But people won't leave me alone out there
They just won't leave me alone
But you know, where would I go? I don't know.

Oysters and cocktail sauce, and then
A baked and stuffed lobster and french fries
I would have a baguette and a cheese course
For my dessert, and red wine.
I drank like crazy when the kids were babies.
How else could I get through my day?

I'm going to school for cinematography
I'm going to make a big, big splash
My favorite? What was his name?
He made "Reds," what else did he make?
I know he worked a lot with Bertolucci.
I'm still in shape everybody, I'm still alive.
You know, what can I say? I'm still alive.
My skin looks bad, but it's okay
Just a little scrubbing, going to the spa
I'm enjoying the spa, the health spa.
I'm just a little bit crazy
I shake too much, my nerves are bad
Just because I haven't finished my growing pains
But I'll be fine
I'm gonna take it on the road
And show you motherfuckers what I can do.
